Stevia Extract

[Characteristics]

Stevia sugar features high sweetness and low calorie and its sweetness is 200 350  times of that  of cane sugar but its calorie is only 1/300 of that of cane sugar.

The component of stevia extract that gives it its sweetness is a mixture of various steviol glycosides. The components of sweetness in stevia leaves are stevioside, rebaudioside A, C, D, E and dulcoside A. Rebaudioside C, D, E and dulcoside A are small in quantity. The principal components are stevioside and rebaudioside A.

The quality of stevioside and rebaudiosideA is better than those of other components, which are commercially extracted and used in various applications.

The steviol glycosides present in stevia extract are referred to as “steviosides” or ¡°stevia extract¡±. Among these “steviosides”, the most common is Stevioside followed by RebaudiosideA. The Stevioside has a slight and pleasant herbal taste and the Rebaudioside-A has no herbal taste.

Although Rebaudioside C and dulcoside A are small in quantity in stevia extract, they are the major components giving bitter aftertaste.

[Function]

A large number of pharmaceutical tests have proved that stevia sugar has no side effects, carcinogens, and is safe for eating.

Compared with cane sugar, it can save 70% of the cost. With pure white color, pleasing taste and no peculiar smell, Stevia sugar is a new sugar source with broad perspective for development. Stevia rebaudianum sugar is the natural low hotsweet agent mostly similar to the flavor of cane sugar, approved to be used by State Ministry of Health and Ministry of Light Industry.

It is the third natural succedaneum of cane sugar and beet sugar with development and health care value, extracted from the leaves of the herbal vegetable of the composite family-stevia rebaudianum.

https://drhedberg.com/anxiety-and-depr… In this Webinar, Dr. Hedberg discusses holistic options for depression and anxiety, which is a huge topic in the United States today. Millions and millions of Americans are on antidepressants and medications for anxiety. This webinar talks about some alternative options, some supplementation, some herbal medicine, and some other things to think about if you suffer from depression and anxiety.

First, he discusses some of the main causes of depression and anxiety, the first one being chronic inflammation. And this really goes back to the inflammation disrupting the neurotransmitters in the brain like serotonin and dopamine, norepinephrine. And the inflammation can be from anything. It can be from food sensitivities, chronic infections, toxic metals, stress.

Many, many things can create inflammation. Genetics, of course. Different amino acid deficiencies like tryptophan, which is the precursor to serotonin, and L-tyrosine, which is the precursor to dopamine. And a lot of the medications out there are targeting those neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine because they do work. There are other ways, though, to manipulate those neurotransmitters as well.

And then, of course, whenever you’re talking about depression and anxiety, we have to talk about the thyroid, and hypothyroidism can lead to anxiety or depression, and the same thing with hyperthyroidism.

Not exercising enough is definitely a contributor, especially to depression. Environmental toxins. Adrenal imbalances, so imbalances of cortisol, DHEA, and adrenaline. Gut inflammation. In the book, “The Second Brain” the doctor talks about the intricate connections between the brain and the gut, and if there is inflammation in the gut or dysfunction in the gut, then many times there’s also dysfunction in the brain.
